This conference will mark the week-long activities in Cape Breton to celebrate North American Occupational Safety and Health Week. This event is aimed at workplace safety committee professionals, managers, human resource professionals and small business owners.

The goals of the Safety First Symposium are to:

Create standards in safety education and best practices that position Cape Breton as the safest and most efficient place to work and do business;

Establish a stronger working relationship with Workers' Compensation Board and provincial health and safety officials;

Gain insight on current and future training needs and safety planning needs;

Provide an opportunity for industry leaders to network with Cape Breton organizations to explore future programming and partnerships;

Present Cape Breton business with the new Occupational Health and Safety Regulations; and

Present Cape Breton business to safety industry professionals.

This year we have a new system in place to make it easier for attendees to pre-register for the breakout sessions. The pre-registration may be completed when you go online to purchase your event tickets. There are nine different breakout sessions to choose from and the descriptions and presenters for each can be found on the Breakout Sessions tab of the Safety First Symposium website.
